Moms who work from home

I have been given an amazing accommodation by my boss--he's allowed me to work from home 2 days a week. I'm so grateful for this chance to spend time with my 5mo old son but he will not let me get any work done! He gets upset when he's tired and fights naps only to finally pass out for 20min. I feel guilty leaving him in his bouncer/jumper too much. If I don't perform, this amazing privilege will be taken away. Moms, how do you make it work?!?

I also work from home 2 days a week and have done so for over a year and a half. The only way I can do this is to have my nanny come on the days I work from home as well. It only gets harder if not impossible as baby gets older and more mobile. When work is slow I will spend time with LO but I pretty much view working from home as saving commute time so I will typically start and stop work during my normal hours. Good luck!

I work from home full time and dd started daycare at 8 months bc I actually need to work during the day. She only goes 5-6 hours bc I can juggle everything the rest if the time. The other moms I work with pay people to babysit in their homes while they work. Kids require attention...as do jobs. Before dd started daycare I felt like I was doing both a disservice.

I work from home full-time, and was anble to keep LO at home with me until he was 4 months old. He's been in daycare since then. It's better for both of us. I can be a good mommy or good at my job, but not simultaneously. I am happier knowing he is getting the attention he needs, and he loves the social interaction. We are expecting #2 in the spring, and will do the same for her.

With my company, working from home is not a substitute for daycare. If you wfh its expected that you are working. Can you look into a sitter? Quite frankly, they can rescind this if it doesn't work for them. Regardless how it works for you. Good luck.

Ladies, I am looking for a company that would allow me to work from home. Do you know if any of your companies are looking for part time employees? I have 12+ years administrative experience (2 of those years at accounting firm, 3 of those years in a military type setting, and 5+ years for the government in criminal law), AA degree, and I'm willing to work part time. I'm looking for legitimate work with a company where instead of working at an office I do the work at my house. If so I can be contacted at csnyder221@gmail.com. Thank you!

When I used to work from home, I still had a nanny come take care of our son. My company paid me so I can make money for them, not so I can save money on childcare. That being said, I did enjoy being able to spend time with my baby anytime I had to take a break and it was easier and took less time to breastfeed than pump. Plus, no commute time and lunch can be whenever I chose to have it. I also never took time off for when my child was sick because I already had that part covered with the nanny and my boss didn't care if I took a couple of hours to take my child to the doctor because it was better than the alternative. I was a very happy and more productive employee when I worked from home. Definitely a win-win for everyone.

I work from home. thankfully my company is flexible and I don't have to have the work done by a certain time. I am nit as dedicated to my employer as some of the other moms may be. Not to say I don't work hard for the company. anyway I usually work in 2 hour chunks of time bc I EBF I know she will sleep for about 1 hrs and I start immediately when she lays down. also try a baby monitoring app or manually track ur baby to see if your lo has a sleep pattern and try to work loosely along that pattern. my lo has had a pattern since the womb since I have 2 other kids to pick up and drop off and things of that nature. on days when I want to work consecutive hours I will take my lo to my mom but thats usually a last resort. to me it doesn't make since to work from home and use daycare or a sitter that kind of defeats the purpose. other than saving commute time. but if I have to take child to daycare or sitter I'm commuting anyway. well good luck and I hope it works out.
